Welcome to Monday Night Raw and we are live from St. Louis, Missouri and we kick things off with John Cena making his way out to the ring. Cena has the mic as he looks around at the WWE Universe and asks why did the WWE Universe along with the 11 million people who downloaded the WWE App vote the way they did last week. The WWE Universe was given a choice to give Cena a fair fight or no chance. Last week the WWE Universe gave him no chance last week when they voted for him to fight all three members of The Wyatt Family. He says 10 years ago, he stood in this ring in St. Louis, Missouri and that night he was drafted to Monday Night Raw. But times have changed and tonight may be a little tougher than normal but through it all he's never abandoned the WWE Universe and put the WWE first. He asked the WWE Universe why they are so drawn to Bray Wyatt. He knows there is a time when he will no longer be able to do this but he's excited for that time because he sees a lot of talent in the back and lists names from both WWE  and NXT and say those guys have the same heart and passion as he has for WWE and the WWE Universe. He's here tonight to tell the WWE Universe that Bray Wyatt is a dangerous man and he shows up in WWE like nothing we've ever seen before. Wyatt is a mystery and Cena says when Wyatt speaks it's beautiful but Bray Wyatt has no heart or passion. Bray Wyatt is all about Bray Wyatt. Cena says this Sunday Whatt's message will be contained but if Wyatt escapes the cage so will his message and he will be able to continue to spread his message. The lights in the arena go out and a choir can be heard on the PA system singing "He's Got The Whole World In His Hands. The lights come back on and the camera focuses on a choir as Cena looks on. The lights go out again and The Wyatt Family make their way down to the ring with Wyatt singing.. The lights go out as Wyatt sits back in his rocking chair and when the lights come back on everyone is wearing sheep masks. Cena looks on as Wyatt cackles hysterically

At the top of the hour, Ric Flair's music played.

Flair continued to milk his entrance as Hunter and Co. acted like they trumped Shield with Flair's presence. Flair eventually entered the ring and shook hands with Orton, Hunter, and Batista. Is a match happening here? Hunter did Flair's mannerisms, then Flair took a mic and slowly adjusted himself. Flair asked if they're in St. Louis to a pop. He asked if he's ever been here before. Shield continued to stand there near Flair, who turned his back to Shield, which put Shield in an awkward position waiting their turn in the skit. Flair talked about being on the road while Orton got impatient waiting. Flair said he's seen greatness come full circle, then noted he's surrounded by Superstars who exude power, style, and grace. Flair said what he's talking about now is... The Shield. Batista removed his glasses to sell concern, then Flair walked up to Rollins and shook his hand. Then, Reigns, then Ambrose. JBL wasn't sure what to make of this as Hunter stood opposite Shield with his hands in his pockets, not bothered to sell. Flair eyeballed Hunter, then quickly left the ring in an attempted comedy spot.
